"Hey, hey, what are you talking about!"

"Don't say a few words, you!"

……

Beside the person who spoke, before his friend had time to reply, someone hurriedly hugged him and blocked the remaining half of the person's words.

"This is in front of the prefect. If you want to talk about it, go back and talk about it. Don't implicate the rest of us!"

"Besides, although this thing is a bit bigger...but it won't take a few years!"

"You just came here, so I don't know...the population of Lujiang is thriving now! Those local people have farmland from the beginning, so they don't have to worry about it. But those outsiders, they don't have land to cultivate! Even if It's lucky that I caught up with last year's concentrated land reclamation, and this year I have to wait until autumn to collect the first batch of grain!"

"During the first half of the year, what did they eat and what did they wear?"

"Shouldn't I have to rely on doing odd jobs to supplement the family first?"

……

As if he was very familiar with the current situation in Lujiang, the man who was born patted the young man on the shoulder, and then made a conclusion in a low voice——

"I see you, but you just don't understand!"

"It's clear that the prefect is kind-hearted, and he uses the name of building a school to find a way to help those whose rations are not enough at home!"

"Last year's catastrophe, who in Jiangdong has never seen it? Who is not afraid?"

"Now there are many people in Lujiang who lost their harvest in the pest disaster, so they fled to our Lujiang from various places..."

"Some of them didn't even catch up with last year's concentrated land reclamation! For these people, our large-scale labor and the work of returning money and food is simply their life-saving straw!"

……

"Yes, yes, yes, do you understand what it means to work for relief?"

"Don't say that the big guys can't use such old kung fu... Even if you really practice for a few years or decades, it's none of your business?"

"How many people wish to build it for a while!"

……

"Hey, little brother, I think you just came here, I don't know about our situation in Lujiang..."

"As long as you work on time every day and never slack off, you will not only get a salary of about 150 yuan a month, but also provide you with two meals at noon and evening! You will have meat for every meal!"

"How many people wish that the prefect's house can be repaired for a lifetime!"

"There is still a long way to go... You, you should learn a little bit!"

……

Just like that, behind Wei Xian, a group of old people were chattering, and they turned back the young man's words.

After the matter is over, I still don't forget to mention a few points and knock on the other party, as if to show my sense of superiority as an "old man".

With Zhang Yan's hearing ability, he could naturally hear these people and their words clearly.

But he didn't say much.

……

The perspectives of the two parties are different, the focus of attention is different, and the amount of information they have is different.

It is reasonable to make a different judgment.

For these people, Zhang Yan doesn't need to explain one by one... As long as he settles down and continues to promote his plan, there will naturally be many people who have benefited from Zhang Yan to help him explain and help him give newcomers "Training".

If you have to let him explain everything one by one... Then there are hundreds of thousands of people in Lujiang, and he makes dozens of different government orders a year. Wouldn't it take him to spend his whole life on such meaningless things? up?

……

Chapter 18 Language Art Modifications

Make up your mind, just make up your mind, it's pretty good like this.

Zhang Yan naturally heard the words of the people below, but he didn't care, but smiled and looked in Wei Xian's direction.

He doesn't need to explain to too many people, he just needs to explain to Wei Xian alone.

……

And Wei Xian...

Wei Xian, of course, has heard of other people's schools, and has seen many similar things.

For example, in the vicinity of Luoyang, in addition to the private book villas, rich and powerful people often build special places, and invite relatives and friends over every now and then to discuss various knowledge and insights.

To put it bluntly, this thing is like the salon of later generations, it can be regarded as an alternative form of expression of the academy.

……

In the north of Lujiang River, he had also heard about the Jixia Academy in the Linzi area of ​​Qingzhou.

Even that thing is only three to five acres in size, with two floors above and below, which can accommodate hundreds of students to study and discuss.

It seemed that what Zhang Yan gave him was indeed beyond his imagination.

After thinking for a while, Wei Xian didn't get entangled in the concept of "can it" or "should it be".

Anyway, he is not the boss, as long as he listens to the boss and does things with peace of mind.

Therefore, he adopted a rather ingenious method this time, and made some insinuations about the rationality of the construction scale of this school...

That is what this thing is used for after it is repaired.

……

"Dare to ask the master, if your school is completed, looking at the scale, I am afraid that it can accommodate tens of thousands of people to live in it... Even if these people live in extremely comfortable rich families, how can you accommodate them?" It’s not difficult to have tens of thousands of students, right?”

"You built this academy... Could it be that you really intend to use it as a study place for the students under your command?"

Looking up at Zhang Yan, Wei Xian's eyes were filled with curiosity and scrutiny.

……

To be honest, he was not worried about the feasibility of this thing, but rather, he was a little worried about Zhang Yan's motivation for building this wonder.

You know, when Wei Xian first met Zhang Yan...it was still two years ago.At that time, Zhang Yan, in his eyes, was a benevolent and caring person who was even willing to spend his own money and spend all his wealth for the well-being of the people. He was a good person in the true sense.

In his impression...whether it is the later library or the waterway network, these things all have practical uses, and the way and scale of construction are all born out of actual real needs, and there is nothing too exaggerated The place.

On the contrary, this academy...

More than [-] acres of land, what is this concept?

In the entire Lujiang River, apart from Nawan City, Shu County, Xiang'an County, and Qian County, the remaining six Marquis States together may not be able to find a city that can exceed [-] mu.

Is Zhang Yan making such a decision because of a real need, or because of...

Or is it because this is the beginning of his character of becoming a great Xigong?

……

Wei Xian knew that just before the Chinese New Year this year, Lujiang sent troops to Danyang and rescued the little prince Liu Xie... and Zhang Yan also gained a lot of benefits in this war.

Regardless of the specific benefits, Wei Xian is really worried that Zhang Yan will be dazzled by this achievement, and go to some places that shouldn't appear——

That is, the opposite of the people.

Therefore, he hopes to get Zhang Yan's explanation...or at least, through today's communication, he can get a little understanding of what Zhang Yan is thinking.

……

"Ha ha……"

There was no sense of irony in a chuckle, Zhang Yan saw Wei Xian's appearance of wanting to say something but dared not, and suddenly understood what the other party was thinking.

If it was years ago, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to see anything... But after Qiao Ying's "training", Zhang Yan also has a deep understanding of people's micro-expressions, and there is no shortage of interpretation experience.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Yan did not directly respond to Wei Xian's question.

If you respond positively, even if you gain the trust of the other party, the relationship between the two will also leave some strangeness.

On the contrary, if you can seize the initiative in this exchange, and even counter the other party...

Pressing his lips lightly, Zhang Yan suddenly chatted with Wei Xian about homework.

……

"Wei Xian, no... Brother Wei, I haven't called you that for a long time, have I?"

"I remember you seem to have a daughter?"

"How old is she this year, and what does she do on weekdays?"

……

After pouring Wei Xian a cup of tea, Zhang Yan waved at him, signaling Wei Xian to sit down opposite him.

Wei Xian was naturally flattered as he held the tea in his hand.

……

"My lord, we do have a son and a daughter in our family. It's just that my son died early a few years ago, and I only have a little daughter left. Now, I'm sixteen or seventeen years old."

"Although she is a girl, she has learned the archery handed down from her family. When she was a child, she liked to follow me into the mountains and forests to hunt... After a long time, the whole person is a little bit turbulent, just like a man..."

"I don't know if the master asked her, but is there anything you want to order?"

Looking secretly at Zhang Yan with a pair of eyes, Wei Xian's expression was a little weird.

Zhang Yan also met his daughter twice, but there was no intersection between the two... What happened to Zhang Yan today? Why did he suddenly ask about his daughter's whereabouts?

It's just that Zhang Yan didn't give him a chance to think, but continued to say:

"It's nothing, it's nothing serious, brother, you don't have to be nervous."

Smiling towards Wei Xian, Zhang Yan grinned, revealing eight white teeth:

"I just heard from the officials under my command that you haven't been very happy with her recently. There seems to be a conflict?"

……

"contradiction?!"

As soon as these words came out, Wei Xian was stunned and his old face turned red at the same time.
